  • In ancient history the words of visionaries like Mr Mckenna were misconstrued and turned in to religions.. Then sold back to the ignorant masses as a form of mind control, all the goodness taken out and replaced with mind control and fear. All in the attempt to keep the masses from awakening. Mckenna is his own personal Jesus and so are we all. He is alive and here now. Because there is no death in spirituality. Death is the ultimate form of mind control. Fear of the unknown. Love is eternal.

  • Terence and The Flashbulb.

    Oh god, all of my brains.

  • We love you Terence!

  • please spare us from the music and magic mushrooms, the world moves for you? hah

  • @sokseb You heard that and immediately assumed that there is no deeper understanding of what he said? fool. the world does not move for you, but nature can help you, by things such as muhsrooms, ayahuasca so forth and so on..

  • "This is the shamonic dance in the waterfall".......

  • Society Fuck Off!

  • Fortune favours the brave, who dares wins... etc

  • @Cruzman3609 Terence's live performances are often done accompanied by music. I don't think it ever bothered him - he was okay with it either way. I don't think it detracts from the message at all - I think most minds are able to multi-process both the enjoyment of music without much, if any, distraction from the message our Terence is trying to communicate. :)

  • stop waching these videos and go live your life, FOR REAL

  • @t181992 you stop watching them =) or .. on second thougth I think you need to see them.

  • terence the god!

  • @jeffrey42088 i don't quite understand your logic...

  • what terence says is that you have the courage to follow your destiny, no matter how insane it sounds to you, this life is a test to force you to awcknowledge what to be humbe is. if you are not humble, to the point of surrendering completely, you have failed.

  • the music gets a little loud!

  • When the music started I jumped out of my seat.

  • Terence McKenna and Joe Rogan changed my life forever for the better.

  • @T0ASTYWAG1992 Check out Spirit Science here on Youtube. Also check out this guy named Drunvalo Melchizedek, and Robert Monroe.

  • @Mosixman

    If you decide to watch Spirit Science, please don't watch his other "spirit quest" videos... I'm serious, his sense of spirituality has turned into consumerism, its honestly quite sad.

  • @ReeceofConsciousness Yeah, I've noticed. Before he started talking about crystals and furniture magic I was genuinely interested. Now...not so much.

  • I like this Video - He Speaks a lot of truth.

    Be Courageous in all we do. Stay in the Light.

    Important to BELIEVE and to LISTEN.

    Peace and Love to all - Angel Eyes

  • @phuketsigel Well sure I can understand that, but I'm going off the statement 'Nature rewards courage'. I understand that as a personal statement, I as a person will benefit. Not all the this-and-that I've formed attachments to, the thing looking out of these 2 eyes. I don't feel I need to lay down my life in sacrifice for the 'greater good' when I can hardly understand what that is at times and I certainly don't think that's what McKenna is talking about here.

    On another accts btw :)

  • Bravery isn't worth a cent if you aren't using wisdom and courtesy before making a play. I watched a video of a hyena proudly challenging a lion, then the lion's mate made a quick end to the hyena. Hippies standing up to the police with only love in the 60's during gatherings were hosed and occasionally gunned down. Intellectuals during Mao's regime were given amnesty for free speech by Mao, then when they voiced against him were promptly extinguished.

  • Beautifull words, very uplifting, i usualy hate music on Mckenna videos, but on this video (and only this video) it helps to make his words more epic and inspiring. Society and institutions can be a helpfull distraction to many people, but sometimes they can be negative and suppress peoples self believe. We should belive in ourselves, most of us know the potential for what we can achieve in life, and where we want to be, but how many of us can get to that plateau.

  • I love this man

  • @Cruzman3609 And you say this because it would be so much easier to generalize pleasenononsense into an enemy figure, a "stoner who thinks its 'hip", implying that he/she is not a free thinker, but, a societally driven fool who hasn't earned the right to speak about opinions in your presence... rather than remaining silent, and reflecting on your own inability to allow someone to enjoy experiencing their life in a way other than you would want to experience yours.

  • And you say this because it would be so much easier to generalize pleasenononsense into an enemy figure, a "stoner who thinks its 'hip", implying that he/she is not a free thinker, but, instead, is someone determined by society and trends, and, thus,hasn't earned the right to speak about opinions in your presence... rather than remaining silent, and reflecting on your own inability to allow someone to enjoy experiencing their life in a way other than you would want to experience yours.

  • I too find most of all this music on Terence's videos useless and annoying. Creepy, really.

  • I hate music when I'm trying to listen to McKenna, doesn't distract me a whole lot but it is a annoying.

  • @NinjaFaced420 I agree,but not this song,not this song.

  • love is eternal

  • Glad to hear it b3n!

  • @Cruzman3609 Yea right, the music makes it so amazing.

  • We miss you man. Rest in peace.

  • This Video Is So Subversive, Uplifting And Powerful That It's Immune To Likes And Favorites Right Now?! WTF Youtube?~~! LMFAO!!

  • "dream the impossible dream, and the world will not run you under... it will lift you up!" Beautiful words.

  • and that courage starts with eating that entire bag full of mushrooms...

  • @denilix

    lmao

  • @denilix a heroic dose no less

    :)

  • @denilix hahahaha

  • Yesterday I had my first psychedelic experience. I took 3 hits of Lsd and after the trip my whole life changed. I know have 0 anxiety. Now have lost the idea of time and now just living in the moment and seeing the awesome path takes you. I am so happy about my new way of life that this one drug gave me and I encourage anybody else interested to jump into the abyss that Mckenna was talking about.

  • im thinking, 20 more years.

    but it could also be in a few...

    PLEASE NOT 50 YEARS....

    ...2012 please.

    lots of people are anticipating 2012, like trying to draw something from it... and if enough people act as good role models, the stage will strike a complete change.

  • Qero of the Andes: Many know what is coming, many are hesitant to answer the call to enter into service for the mother. Know that when you serve the mother, she will serve you with food and protection.

    Literally.

  • Is it just me or is it recently that McKenna youtube videos have started getting more views? amazing to see, this brought tears to my eyes!

  • That's correct Joa,i have the utmost respect for Terence, and know that he was an enlightened wise thinker. I realise my last post can be misunderstood. what i wanted to say was that the the world rewards those that chase their dreams, for if they chase them they are in with a chance of getting them, as opposed to those that give into fear in all its forms like talking or worrying instead....which yield nothing...

  • drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrug spirituality 

  • the world rewards those that GO FOR IT, not thinkers....

  • terrance mckenna is amazing

  • "tell society to fuck off, because . .. " of what?

  • "The Secret" for intelligent people

  • @infastructureFissure nobody here is talking about "blatantl disregarding" anything........"UTOPIA"?????

  • You can study lots of historical and inspiring examples of the power of courage and generosity at ANCIENT LIGHTS dot o-r-g

  • @infastructureFissure Your mind is already set and made up.... why continue arguing? Go...

  • @infastructureFissure The materials, the technology, & the knowledge to get rid of these natural birth defects & diseases has been available since the 90s. Only the good will & good intention without double interests is whats need to give it a-go to end these problems. When we show courage by dreaming the impossible & caring for each other, nature removes the impossible obstacles for to be able to show love. "Nature loves courage" (T.McKenna)

    Too many resources & human lives wasted on fake wars.

  • @Jink5 Not a blame against our silly selfish brothers, but a wake-up call to help them to help each other.

    Aids, cancer, ADD, diabetes, glaucoma, tumors, etc. have been cured with the illegal Entheogens, but the media doesn't let the people to know it.

    Birth defects are mostly the result of A-bomb & other form of radioactive material been tested on innocent-abducted test subjects. The old-men in charge keeps playing good-vs-evil, while the future young pays for it, & is educated to repeat it.

  • @infastructureFissure Aids, starvation & others problems are the products of corrupted humans misguiding humans. Aids for example was engineered in a lab. Starvation happens because selfish rich like in the Vatican with that "supposed" wealth. Wealth that's imaginary, subjective. One can say that nature got out of hand when these selfish individuals took charge. But somehow we were drawn to develop the internet that allows us to resist corruption. Isn't that nature removing impossible obstacles?

  • i think 8 people just wanted to be different

    

  • "This is how magic is done. It's done by hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a featherbed." I've made a note of this and will carry it in my wallet. Thanks Terence!

  • If this message reaches your heart, We are friends!

    If you are sick of this society, we are friends!

    If the Mushroom has spoken to you, we are friends!

    If the Goddess is calling you into the Deep, For god's sake add me as a friend!

  • anybody know what the characters under the circle mean?

  • should i jump off a cliff to fly then is that courage, faith or foolishness cos i cant take off from the ground and more than anything i want to fly...oh me oh my.....wait up i just need to move the earth away from my feet right..... is that it ???

  • By telling society to fuck off I think he means self-reliance think for yourself thats a pretty good note to leave on if you ask me

  • Great video dude. Could you maybe turn down the hippie music at the end of it? It makes it really hard to hear the good stuff.

  • The great thing is that people listened to this guy. Its remarkable. Thank god. RIP.

  • EVERYTHING IS FINE.....BUT FUCK OFF IS NOT THE ANSWER AS WELL

  • @kimblemar Agree with that. Wish the vid hadn't left off on that note.

  • @kimblemar for this guy, he can get away with saying these things because you know he knows what that implies and can break it down to a hair on the fly. its more about the listener at this point, how its received and dealt with.

  • @litttlebittt lol "god says"

  • @litttlebittt read a book. Christianity is a copy of a copy of a copy passed down for thousands of years. Can you say...DUMB!

  • I wish I knew the ways to still communicate with McKenna... (maybe some mushrooms will help)

  • I don't agree with all the mystical ideas, but nevertheless they are beautiful and inspiring. Do I really believe that a mechanism of nature will help me along if I use courage? No. I do however think courage can overcome obstacles. Courage makes nature's obstacles small and mediocre, easily crushed. Thank you Terence for your poetry and inspiration. You help move me when it seems bleak.

  • @YoungNubb Society and your culture are creating the bigger obstacles, we need courage to stand up to that!

  • When i try to describe how terence influenced my life, i cannot use words.

  • Many thanks for this gem! A beautiful mind, sadly missed. R.I.P Terence.This world owes you much.¸*♥♥♥*

  • Great video..never get enough of mckenna. song?

  • @feelinlikeet Flashbulb-Highway One

  • Comment removed

  • Seven people dislike Nature... What a dam shame 

  • @ascorbicacid1 Still, one of the best like to dislike ratios I've ever seen.

  • Incredibly Incredible. Thank you.

  • Spectacular.... well done. Bravo and thank you for beautiful post.

  • music is just right, i've must of play this hunderds of times now

  • music is too loud

  • this video has been a tremendous inspiration in my life. I made a song in dedication.

    take a listen. soundcloud(dot)com/aedc/nature­-loves-courage

  • @dFalcStudios I tried to listen to it, but soundcloud says the page is not found.

    What should I do.

  • @HeavenFort

    soundcloud(dot)com/aedc/

    replace (dot) with a period

    hopefully that works.

  • @dFalcStudios

    found it, had to remove the "nature loves courage" part. Amazing song man. I hope you'll make more soon!

  • Comment removed

  • i dont think theres another who is as articulate as mckenna.

  • nice video :) and I like the music but it gets a little too loud and makes it difficult to hear everything he's saying.

  • Truely inspirational

  • Truely inspiriational

  • HERE IS THE SOLUTION!!

    youtube .com/watch?v=4Z9WVZddH9w

  • awesome, does anyone know what lecture this is from? would love to hear the full thing, also what does the lettering (chinese?) under the circle mean in the video? cheers

  • @amb005 unfolding the stone i think :)

  • The mushrom said to me once.....

  • Love Terence.

  • I Love Terence Mckenna so much~!

  • I wish people would stop adding music to his speeches ;_;

  • Give a sheep a mushroom. Sheep turn to wolf? shepherd?

  • He means telling the psychological rules that society unconsciously follows that keep you afraid to be who you really are to "fuck off". Not for the faint of heart, or sheep.

  • i wonder how telling society to "fuck off"is really going help except in pissing people off and ignoring each other and generally keep people afraid/insecure. i always thought that the generation that i live in today is the "fuck you" generation anyway. anyone happy about this?

  • @Xziz10ths

    i think he might mean that in a sort of "think or yourself" kind of way,

  • @Xziz10ths well I think what he was saying is when they tell you certain things are wrong and you feel they aren’t , you should have the courage to go with your feelings and not concern yourself with the wishes of others.

  • at 1:04 did you see the little face in the center or i am crazy?

  • hard core

  • Change the world!

  • society fuck off

  • hurling into the abbys

  • @DoMiNouSQi trillions!....err ..i failed damnit.. wait no, the other animals should watch too! yes !

  • just discovered mckenna tonight. I listened to hicks for years but for some silly reason never remembered to follow up on the McKenna reference with psilocybin. And i regards to this :wwwwoooowwwwwwowowowowowowoww­owowowowwowowowwowwowowowowwow­owowowowowowowowowowowowwow. :)

  • @b3n1614 keep reading/listening to McKenna =D / I Bet You Already Are, I Know I Am

  • 6 people who accidentally mis clicked

  • @2ManyNoobs Probably Dogmatists

  • @DoMiNouSQi that and chronic abundance of shit in their eyes and ears.

  • Terence McKenna lives through us!!! 

  • Bravo!!! Great Video

  • i can´t hear a s h it with the f uc k ing music!!!!

  • @Ohsky4 Then get some q-tips.

  • The shamanic dance in the waterfall. By only listening to his voice, Listening to his words, I try and sometimes I break a barrier in my mind.

  • Why must the most amazing humans die so young?

  • great stuff

  • I Love this man and his invaluable work he's left behind!

  • such beautifull words ..."hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering that it's a feather bed"

    what a legend. always feel in a better mood after listening to terrence. nicely made video

    

  • @phantasm3001 Inspired by Nietzsche, look it up lol

  • Terence McKenna we found you to late and you died to early but luckily your words live forever.

  • this is really inspiring

  • 6 people need to revaluate why they are living in fear.

  • @Xziz10ths ^ 6 people? what about the other 5 billion? 

  • Follow your bliss and doors will open where there were no doors before... you are the center of the mandala...

  • Check out NatureLovesCourage - Çatal Hüyük - available for the 1st time on CD Baby, ITunes, Amazon and more -- This music was magically listened to and endorsed by Terence prior to his departure from this Earth. You will not be disappointed. Peace. Aloha.

  • yeah.. fair play..

    sounds like why me and most of the people i like and get along with will aspire to less, namely survival and persuit of one´s greatest ambitions, all the while going that extra mile in trying to nurture the moral system inspired by immediate surrounding and wise deceased specimens like this man

    hell i´ve smoked a bowl and liften a bug out of a body of water just because i felt like i could put myself in his place. saving a life, does that even mean anything anymore? at all?

  • @ibajem any positive action creates positive energy. no matter the scale. =]

  • @99Sorc Right on!

  • @ibajem i saw a fly struggling for life in my cup of tea today and helped it out.... in my eyes i saved its life and i did it because i could.... i woke up in the middle of the night one night to a house full of thick black smoke, there was a fire from a candle that should have killed my friend and i.... i cant help thinking that we were the flies in the cup that night

  • @djbennyblanco I had a similar experience and I can't help thinking we are all flies in a cup. :)

  • @djbennyblanco inspiring!

  • @djbennyblanco Thats beautiful and the same way i look at LIFE in its many forms.. Bless ya x

  • What an amazing speaker, this guy was pretty special...

    J

  • words of wisdom, skip the cheesey music tough

  • This video is awesome, inspiring. One I tend to watch weekly anyway is culture is your operating system. Great words of wisdom, and the last line sums it all up so elegantly

    originaltbyrd you are a fool, but don't take my word for it

  • this man is LYING to you. he is leading you into eternal destruction with him. Don't follow him!

  • @originaltbyrd then who should we follow,a person named christ, which causes so many people to question his skin colour then to understand his teachings.

  • @BirdmanlBirdCage ...uh, what? yes, you should definetly follow Jesus Christ and not mckenna. by the way, were you high or tripping when you wrote this reply?

  • @nineteen19candles What in God's name could make any one believe Jesus, Mckenna, Christ or yourself are at all different from one another in their essence?

  • @nineteen19candles leave it to the Jesus enthusiasts to resort to name calling...

    bottom line: you can learn a lot from Terrence McKenna's teachings, as well as Jesus'. Simply because this man is not Jesus does not allow you to disregard everything he says. You are doing yourself a disservice by not listening to this wise man.

  • i follow mckennas words and i spread the good news @nineteen19candles

    plus everyone knows jesus was a mushroom,

  • @nineteen19candles I follow Jesus....But this man right here speaks nothing but the truth.... Terrance McKenna is a legend!!!!

  • @SwishasNHerb Terence was special, totally unselfish and gave so much of himself, to everyone who had an opened mind.

  • @SwishasNHerb Terence McKenna was all about waking up, realising who you are and who you want to be. Stop being a follower and start creating your own reality. Only then you will taste what true freedom is. Peace

  • @nick11ification I have created my own reality...

  • @SwishasNHerb Bless you.

  • @nick11ification Agreed and peace to you, too.

  • @originaltbyrd @ nineteen19candles I am sorry to see that you have been victimized by scare tactics. Who are you to say that this man is lying? Did you know that early Judaic traditions (the precursor to your Christian belief system) were based upon the ingestion of Amanita Muscaria?

  • @leapinlueschen wow, that's an interesting fantasy. "never heard that one before"

  • RIP TM.... I love you my fellow brother... I love you.....

  • um, this is already known as "fortune favours the brave"

    er, sorry

  • i do ....and i am tonight!

  • my favorite Terence quote "Liberate yourself from the illusion of culture"

    What a brillaint, free-thinking man! RIP

  • I dont even have any weed right now but what he said just made me feel somewhat stoned o.o

  • One of my top 10 favorite videos on youtube. It's beautiful, and inspiring.

  • @1nqual have you tried holotrophic breathing? i havent but i am interested if others have. plant medicine is not so good for me.

  • @OhSleeperAwake

    i've done holotropic breathwork like 5 times...it's like lsd..but brightless...and it's terapeutic... the trip is selected by your brain to be the best suitable experience for you in the moment... try it!
